Nick Cannon is clearing the air after his daughter, Monroe, posted about her siblings, which went viral on Instagram. Speaking with Shannon Sharpe on his famous “Club Shay Shay” podcast, the “Wild ‘N Out” host made it clear that his daughter, who has a twin brother, Moroccan, doesn’t have any issues with her half-siblings.
Cannon is used to being in the headlines when it comes to his children, and today is no different. On “Club Shay Shay,” the actor and rapper clarified his daughter’s earlier comment about having “one” sibling, assuring listeners that her post had been taken out of context.
“My daughter just recently went viral,” Cannon told the Super Bowl champion. “And it’s so funny because the world thought that it was about a conversation that was something that it wasn’t.”
For those who may be unfamiliar, Monroe made a post in November 2025, stating that she has only one brother and many half-siblings. Cannon said that his daughter’s post wasn’t a dig at his 10 other children with multiple women, but rather was meant to stop rumors spreading about their family.
“There was like some, a couple kids online saying that they were my kids’ siblings. Like, ‘Oh that’s my sister, oh that’s my brother.’ So my daughter wanted to clear it up and be like, ‘I only have one brother, like literally in her age group. All these other guys that are saying they’re my brother are not my brother,’” he said.
Nick Cannon Said His Daughter Learned A Valuable Lesson After Posting About Her Siblings Online
As the conversation continued, Cannon said his daughter learned a valuable lesson about sharing information online as a public figure.
“I was like, ‘But let this be a lesson that you gotta be very careful what you say on social media. People will take something very small and blow it up to something that you don’t have control over anymore. So be very careful on what you share,’” the “Drumline” actor said.
Cannon said that despite how the comments sounded, his eldest daughter was upset that the situation had been blown out of proportion. “It was a great lesson for my teenage daughter to learn where, like, you don’t have to say everything that you feel on social media because people ‘gon take it and run with it,” he said.
Nick Cannon Sparks Controversy After Sharing Why His Daughter Isn’t Allowed To Date Just Yet
According to The Blast, Cannon was back in the spotlight earlier this week when a clip of him saying his daughter wasn’t allowed to date was shared online.
“There is a difference when parenting a son and then when parenting a daughter. I am more protective of my daughter because there’s things out there that I have to protect my daughter from,” Cannon said.
Cannon explained that his rules for his children are more about protection than anything else.
“My son isn’t calling me that, Dad, she hit me,” the podcast host said. “He’s not doing that. But if someone puts their hands on my daughter. I’m going to jail. I’m doing 25 to life if somebody puts their hands on my daughter.”
Social media users slammed the comedian over what some believed was an antiquated stance, while others said the A-lister might be fearful of his child ending up with someone like him.
“It’s going to happen,” someone posted. “Somebody is going to use her the same way Nick used other people’s daughters.”
Cannon Says His 12 Children Were Due To Him Being ‘Careless’
This isn’t the first time Cannon has spoken publicly about his children. Per The Blast, he previously spoke openly about how he wound up with 12 children from six different women, admitting he was once “careless with my process.”
“… I had the money [and] because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move,” he said, adding that he was more concerned with having fun than anything else. The actor hinted, however, that his life would look different today if he could change some of his past behavior.
“Being almost 45 now, I could sit back and like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the inner work,” he said. “Things might have been a little different in certain scenarios.”
Cannon Says He Let Jesus Down When He Did This One Thing
Another report from The Blast details Cannon’s candid admission about losing his virginity as a young teenager at a church event. The actor said he was “too young” to do the deed and, in turn, felt like he “let Jesus down.”
Cannon went on to say that the moment still lives in his head, revealing that he felt “pressured” to perform because the person was a few years older than he was.
While the act itself wasn’t a great experience for Cannon, he said he learned a lot from that moment and recalled it when he engaged in it again years later.
